<Psalms 3

[1] O LORD, how my adversaries have increased! Many are rising up against me.

[2] Many are saying of my soul, “There is no deliverance for him in God.” Selah.

[3] But You, O LORD, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head.

[4] I was crying to the LORD with my voice, And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah.

[5] I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustains me.

[6] I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me round about.

[7] Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God! For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek; You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.

[8] Salvation belongs to the LORD; Your blessing be upon Your people! Selah.
